Abstract: An interposer for interconnection between microelectronic circuit panels (260) has contacts (250) at its surfaces. Each contact has a central axis normal to the surface and a peripheral portion adapted to expand radially outwardly from the central axis responsive to a force applied by a pad (262) on the engaged circuit panel. Thus, when the circuit panels (260) are compressed with the interposers, the contacts expand radially and wipe across the pads (262). The wiping action facilitates bonding of the contacts to the pads, as by conductive bonding material (246) carried on the contacts themselves.

Abstract: A thermal connector for conducting heat from microelectronic components such as semiconductor chips to a heat sink. The connector includes a large number of flexible thermal conductors desirably formed as elongated "S"-shaped strips or ribbons. The conductors can flex to accommodate tolerances in the assembly and displacement of the components caused by thermal expansion. The conductors may have relatively thin neck sections to increase the flexibility of the conductors, The connector may be fabricated by a process which includes fabrication of the conductors as flat strips, bonding of the conductors to a pair of opposed planar sheets and vertically moving the sheets away from one another to expand the conductors vertically to their final three-dimensional configuration.

Abstract: A method of encapsulating a semiconductor device. The encapsulation method includes a semiconductor chip package assembly having a spacer layer between a top surface of a sheet-like substrate and a contact bearing surface of a semiconductor chip, wherein the substrate has conductive leads thereon, the leads being electrically connected to terminals on a first end and bonded to respective chip contacts on a second end. Typically, the spacer layer is comprised of a compliant or elastomeric material. A protective layer is attached on a bottom surface of the substrate so as to cover the terminals on the substrate. A flowable, curable encapsulant material is deposited around a periphery of the semiconductor chip after the attachment of the protective layer so as to encapsulate the leads. The encapsulant material is then cured. Typically, this encapsulation method is performed on a plurality of chip assemblies simultaneously.

Abstract: A substantially continuous layer of a first metal such as copper is provided with strips of a second metal such as gold by selective electroplating of the second metal, or by applying separately formed strips such as lengths of wire. A dielectric support layer is provided in contact with the first metal layer, and the first metal layer is etched to leave strips of the first metal contiguous with the strips of the second metal, thereby providing composite leads with the first and second metal strips connected in series. The process provides simple and economical methods of making microelectronic connection components with leads having a flexible, fatigue resistant lead portion formed from a precious metal. The leads may incorporate sections of round cross-sectional shape to facilitate engagement by a bonding tool during use of the component.

Abstract: A connector for microelectronic elements includes a sheet-like body (3) having a plurality of holes (36), desirably arranged in a regular grid pattern. Each hole is provided with a resilient laminar contact (38) having a plurality of projections (42) extending inwardly over the hole in the body. Microelectronic elements (68) having bump leads (70) such as solder balls thereon may be engaged with the connector by advancing the bump leads into the holes of the connector to engage the bump leads with the contacts. The assembly can be tested, and if found acceptable, the bump leads can be permanently bonded to the contacts.

Abstract: A plurality of separate semiconductor chips, each having a contact-bearing surface and contacts on such surface, are disposed in an array so that the contact-bearing surfaces face and define a first surface of the array. A flexible, dielectric sheet with terminals thereon overlies the first or contact bearing surface of the semiconductor chips. Elongated leads are disposed between the dielectric element and the semiconductor chips. Each lead has a first end connected to a terminal on the dielectric element, and a second end connected to a contact on a semiconductor chip in the array. All of the leads are formed simultaneously by moving the dielectric element and the array relative to one another to simultaneously displace all of the first ends of the leads relative to all of the second ends. The dielectric element is subdivided after the forming step so as to leave one region of the dielectric element connected to each chip and thereby form individual units each including one chip, or a small number of chips.

Abstract: A microelectronic connection component includes a support such as a dielectric sheet having elongated leads extending along a surface. The leads have terminal ends permanently connected to the support and tip ends releasably connected to the support. The support is juxtaposed with a further element such as a semiconductor chip or wafer, and tip ends of the leads are bonded to contacts on the wafer using a bonding tool advanced through holes in the support. After bonding, the support and the further element are moved away from one another so as to deform the leads.
